A Buzzsaw
Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, chairman of the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Constitutional Abuses (boy, is that a mouthful), held a hearing on Wednesday to question ABA President Michelle A. Behnke about the organization’s influence over law school accreditation.
Gill:
“DEI is a cancerous ideology that promotes unlawful discrimination and steals opportunities from Americans who would otherwise earn jobs and law school admissions spots on merit. The ABA has abused its accreditation power to force harmfully racist and often illegal DEI policies and coursework in law schools across the nation.”
Behnke is a conventional left-liberal who is used to speaking progressive slogans and platitudes. Meritocracy is not one of the slogans that Behnke would ever utter. Behnke expects both parties to treat her remarks as if they are worth taking seriously. She was definitely not prepared for the onslaught that Rep. Gill brought to the hearing. And, since this was Gill’s own hearing, one of his colleagues graciously yielded his own time so Gill could continue to turn up the heat on the ABA and its discriminatory practices.
